Porselaine

Porselaine is a breed of dog originating from France, specifically the Limousin region. It is a scenthound, developed for hunting hare and other small game. The breed is known for its distinctive porcelain-like coat, which is typically white with darker patches, often red or black. Porselaines are medium-sized dogs with a lean, muscular build and long, pendulous ears characteristic of many hound breeds.

These dogs possess a keen sense of smell and a strong prey drive. They are known for their stamina and endurance, allowing them to track game over long distances. Despite their hunting prowess, Porselaines are generally considered to be good-natured and affectionate with their families. They can be somewhat reserved with strangers but are not typically aggressive.

The Porselaine is an active breed that requires regular exercise and mental stimulation. They thrive in environments where they have opportunities to run and explore. Due to their strong hunting instincts, proper socialization and training from an early age are important. While not as widely known as some other French hound breeds, the Porselaine is appreciated by hunters and dog enthusiasts for its unique appearance and reliable working abilities.
